In the era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there's no ancient deity more famous than Thor - Asgardian, Avenger, and God of Thunder. Actual Norsemen of antiquity, however, might be annoyed if they knew how little the Chris Hemsworth version of the character resembles the genuine Thor of Norse mythology. Though not every retelling of the Prose Edda and Poetic Edda agree about the details of the Odinson's life, they do make it clear that Jack Kirby and Stan Lee took several liberties when lifting their superheroic creation from Scandinavian lore. It's true that the popularity of Thor in the pages of Marvel Comics, and later the MCU, has increased global awareness of Thor, Loki, and all Norse gods and myths, but unless one is willing to consult the original texts, they're not going to get the whole picture. After all, there are some pretty strange tales of Thor and the rest of the Aesir out there to peruse - and they sure don't look much like any of the adventures that have made it to the big screen thus far.
